Recent News
Okay, so you should always take rumours with a plentiful supply of salt pinches, but when they come from publications such as Japan's Famitsu or the US magazine EGM, then people tend to pay more attention. Anyway, enough chatter...here are the rumours this month:
- Red Faction will be released on the PS3 in 2007;
- Nintendo has plans to release a version of Earthbound on the Nintendo DS, which uses the touch-screen (despite Mother 3 on GBA apparently being the last by its original creator);
- The next generation of EyeToy should be available from the launch of the PS3;
- Electronic Arts is working on a next generation version of Batman, but not based on a Film;
- Square Enix has no plans to release Front Mission Online or the XBOX 360 title Project Sylpheed in the USA;
- Square Enix is currently creating an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game based on the Mana series for Nintendo's Wii;
- If sales of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (Nintendo DS) and Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors (Wii) get good sales, then the company will bring Dragon Quest IX to the Wii!
Amazing stuff if true! Share your thoughts and stick with Cubed3 for further updates...

I've just read a source of this, apparently the Earthbound one would be a collection of the old games, which'd be very nice!

A compliation would be awesome, and would sell an absolute bucketload in Japan!
Hopefully a majority of these rumours have some truth, they would do wonders for Nintendo!

Do you know, that a 'Mana'-MMO would be as awesome as an Final-Fantasy-MMO? This world has a wonderful and rich background!
And you guys: All getting at least 3 Dragon-Quest-Games, you hear me??? *eg*
Would you push me: the Dragon Quest, which came just recently for PS2 was part VIII, right?
And Earthbound - I gogglet it a bit but never heard a lot from this game. Does someone has a good source with screens, maybe soundtrack, story and more for me? That would be very nixe...

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Laurelin, have you played SSBM? One of the characters, Ness, is from that series. Also, if you've got his trophy, read it a bit. Er, try going on Wikipedia as well. They are usually a bit more helpful for in depth stuff than Google.

A mana mmorpg on the wii would be great, but that brings up the question, how would the Wii controller be used in an mmo, something similar to what we have seen at E3 with Zelda maybe?

I wonder what Square Enix sees as a success Slime Slime Mori sold 300k in that good? considering it is a dragon quest game and it is a spin off
Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich?They were the statement and the definition."

Dragon Quest VIII is in my top 3 best RPGs of all time and if IX is anything like it then I'll be snapping it up on release. However, I'm not going to buy the other Dragon Quest games as, quite frankly, I'm not after a monster collecting game and Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime just doesn't interest me at all. Now, if they were to release some of the earlier DQ games... 
Online Mana could be good, Red Faction was fun when it came out all those years ago, Batman is more than likely destined for nothing more than mediocrity and it's a shame that publishers aren't willing to risk quirky games in territories outside of Japan.

I do not believe any of this stuff. Especially the Square-Enix information. There is no way Square would place a Sales quota on Nintendo.
EGM needs to keep their rumors to themselves.

What if the Wii and DS dragon quests are crap and no one buys them?
It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

You guys need better happy smilies... I swear... no smilie is happy enough to describe that the Dragon Quest series could possibly be permanently moved/copied to Nintendo....
Oh good god...
BUY THOSE GAMES PEOPLE!! I'm sure that Japan will love it, so as long as it does alright over here, we have nothing to worry about. Unless they decide to follow the trend by not releasing the DS & Wii Dragon Quest games over here.
MMO on Wii!! AWESOME!!
EDIT: Speaking of Final Fantasy MMO, I really hope it isn't a fortune to pay to play online, I hope it's free...
